Production Planning and Control

Katmex have a dedicated Production Planning department using an Aventa ERP system to plan Katmex shop floor scheduling and production control. Cutting/Profiling management is acheived using a Sigmanest CAD CAM nesting system to ensure maximum material utilisation and production efficiency.

Primary Section

The Primary Section consists of raw plate storage area, (where up to 2500 tonnes of steel can be stored under cover). It includes two Oxy-fuel and three plasma cutting machines, supported by Levelling and Shotblast facilities.

Oxy fuel cutting

Two Oxy-fuel gas cutting CNC Profiling machines. Up to sixteen torch cutting capability per machine. Each having 8 metre wide by 30 metre length cutting for multi-setups and rapid change-overs.

Plasma cutting

Shot Blast

Twin side shot blast machine capable of shot blasting a full size plate, and also individual parts. We also have a tumbler shot blast machine for smaller parts.

Secondary Section

The secondary section makes Katmex unique amoungst most profiling competitors, we not only have profiling capabilities but also full facilities for forming weld preperations, and full machining capacity for additional operations such as tolerance bores, machined faces and thread forming. Also our fabrication department combines all of the above into a finished part ready for assembly.
